Mrs. Nina Wertbemer
OF THE DESIGNER PATTERN 00., Inc.,
WHO WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU >
The Belrobe
OBTAINABLE WITH ALL NEW DESIGNER PATTERNS.
Whether you make your own clothes, or wish to learn
how, this will be of interest to you. The Belrobe cuts with
the swiftness and economy of a professional cutter, puts
together with the deftness and skill of a great dressmaker,
finishes with the little tricks that give the charm of a Paris
models, and sav$s for the beginner dollars in material, hours
in time and racked nerves. For the expert it always saves
time, which' is money, and nearly alw&ys saves material.
We cordially invite you to be present at this meeting, as
Mrs. Werthmere is anxious to meet you.
This is merely a demonstration and she will not try to
Bell you a pattern, nor will you be obligated in any way.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 26.—The
United Mine Workers of America,
the largest single craft labor union
not only in the United States, but
also in the world, has a membership
of a half million men scattered
throughout the country^ with a few
thousand id Canada. John L. Lewis
of Springfield, 111., Is its president
axd recognized leader. Union head-
quarters are maintained i,n this
city. , t
The real numerical strength is
515,342 and is the highest number
ever yet recorded,” Secretary Wil-
liam Green informed the' union’s
last regular convention of more
than 2300 delegates.
The exact number In the union
varies greatly from time to time.
Lack of employment exempts a mi-
ner from paying dues. For the last
vear, the average monthly paid-up
membership was given as 44,057,
and the average monthly exempted
membership was 73,186.
The membership is scattered from
Pennsylvania to the Pacific, from
Michigan to Alabama and Texas,
with a fringe in Canada—Nova Sco-
tia^ forming a district as also the
Western provinces. Pennsylvania
and Illinois have the greatest num-
ber of miners. Membership among
districts changes periodically with
the opportunity for work.
The United Mine Workers of
America wag formed January 25,
1890 by the amalgamation of the
National Progressive Union of Min-
ers and Mine Laborers, and the
National Trades Assembly No. 135;
Knights of Labor, the two branches
having 17,000 members. Each of the
combining organizations retained Its
name as a branch of the union until
1894 when such distinction was
dropped and the union became
known only as the United Mine
Workers of America.
Before the fusion of the two un-
ions as the United Mine Workers o?
America, several attempts were made
to form a national organization of
miners. Unionism In the coal fields
had Its birth In 1849 In the anthra-
cite district, but the move for na-
tional (inity was made by the soft
coal workers and the anthracite field
was not brought into a national
organization until after the creation
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
Until 1861, unions had been only
local organizations, but On January
28, that year, the first national un-
ion was founded at St* Lonts by
soft coal workers of fhe Believelie.
111., district forming the American
Miners Association. This organiza-
tion was extended Into the soft
fields of Pennsylvania and Ohio,
but membership dwindled after un-
successful strikes in 1867 and 1868
and this unlion died in 1869.
Meanwhile, the anthracite workers
had formed their first district or-
ganisation, known as the Workmen’s
Benevolent Association. In 1870, Its
president, John Shiey, who Is known
now as the father of the
movement In America, negotiated the
first joint agreement ever made
this country between operators jnd
town, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1873, by miners
from the soft coal fields.
Within a year, the Miners’ Na-
tional Association claimed a mem-
bership of 24,000 scattered through-
out seven middle western states,
hut nation wide depression had set
in with the panic of 1873 and the
union ceased to exist in 1876. A
year before, the Workmen’s Benevo-
lent Association In the anthracite
field and been crushed in a strike.
For several years, there was no
national union but organization In
the coal fields waa continued, often
secretly, under the local Independent
plan. Such organizations effort con-
tinued utntil 1885 when the next
move was started for national uhlty
among mine workers, and soon two
national organizations were strug-
gling for supremacy.
Two soft coal field workers, meet-
ing at Indianapolis, September 9,
1885, organized the National Federa-
tion of'Miners and Mine Laborers,
which In its first year started the
collective bargaining movement be-
tween miners and. operators that
exists today. The Knights of Labor
which began organizing locals In
the coal fields, Including the anthra-
cite, in 1877 formed a miners’ branch
—the National Trades Assembly No.
135—at a meeting at St Louis, May
20, 1886.
Efforts to unite thes.i two organ-
izations failed until 1890, one at-
tempt in 1888 being marked by the
National Federation of Miners and
Mine Laborers dissolving but re-
constituting Itself as the National
Progressive Uhl*®- Although there
were two national unions, both par-
ticipated in the joint conferences
with operators ^hat marked the col-
lective bargaining movement started
in 1885. Finally, in 1890 the two
unions joined forces as the United
Mine Workers of America.
In the anthracite field, the United
Mine Workers of America began
work at intensive organization in
1891 and strikes in 19Q0, 1902
1906 and 1912 won substantial ad
vances until now the union claims
membership there of more than
half the workers though it is not
officially recognized by the opera-
tors.
